How do I fix this error "In an assignment A(:) = B, the number of elements in A and B must be the same."?

clc; clear;

%Design Mission PAX = 250;

Cargo = 8000; Range = 7000; %N. Miles DRatio = .9524988; PRatio = .23590495; M = .85; Vapp = 145; %Knots TOFL = 10500; %Feet a = 576.4592054; % Speed of Sound at 35,000 ft, KNOTS

%%%%%%% Values Changed Manually %%%%%%%%% Abreast = 8; % Tested 4 - 8 N_aisle = 1; % Tested 1 & 2 Sweep = 25; % Degrees, Tested: 25, 30, 35, 40 AR = 8; % Tested: 6-9 Airfoil = 1; % Supercritical = 1, Conventional = 2.

% Assuming a Cl value so need a for loop. CL=[.45:.01:.6]; n = length(CL); DelM = zeros(1,n);

syms x for i= 1:n

if Airfoil == 1
    DelM(i) = vpasolve((CL(i)==((-2*10^9)*x^6)-((1*10^8)*x^5)-((2*10^6)*x^4)-((2632.1*x^3)+124.37*x^2)-(5.8637*x)+.5475),x,[-.01 .015]);
end

if Airfoil == 2
    DelM(i) = vpasolve(CL(i)==(-5.1087*x^2)-(2.9657*x)+.5509);
end
 NewDelM=double(DelM);
% M_Crit=(M+.004)
end

There should be 1 DelM value for every CL iteration. This is why I put the constraint on vpasolve to only use a certain solution. I am still not sure why I am getting the following error: "In an assignment A(:) = B, the number of elements in A and B must be the same."

Save ‘DelM’ as a cell array:

DelM{i} = ...

noting the curly braces ‘{}’ denoting a cell array. Then sort it out later.
